Your basing this opinion on what?  Ever seen him play? The guy knows how to play and he would smoke with this band,


i have seen him play drums plenty of times, as well as drum solo. i never said he was a bad drummer, but he is my least preferred drummer next to the many other "possible" candidates. i think it might have to do with his "groove" or lack-thereof. He's ok on James LaBrie - "Elements of Persuasion", but i just dont think he would fit in the DT sound.

No, we're biased. DT hasn't done anything yet!

But (and Mangini reminded me) I do have a suggestion for another M that could join them: Chuck Mangione!

I see your point on Chris M  Smile . My 17 year old son says anybody but Mike Mangini.   I agreewith you  Marco  M would  be a good choice so would Rod Morgenstein with is  Jordan Rudess and John Myung  connections . If  I were a betting man  I would put my money on Rod.

I sat in the front row last year and saw both Marco and Mike Mangini in Eddie Jobson's U-Z show in Whittier, Ca. I am telling you either of those guys could fill in nicely. They were the stars of that show by far.

Yeah, they decided there's no room for a drummer in Wilson/Akerfeldt last I heard.

True, but if they ever wanted to play a song from the previous 25 years of DT history, Maitland wouldn't be able to play! Tongue

No, we here were hoping he might be the drummer for the Wilson - Akerfeldt project Tongue

I think that it must be legal thing that keeps them  releasing the name. I do look forward to hearing the new stuff and see where it goes. I also can't fro Mike'e new stuff.

Agreed ... neither the growl nor its lyrics made any sense in the context of that song. Well, I guess it's indeed a good thing that they decided to go separate ways.Smile

It's really cool that I can go on the internet and see my opinions written for me, word-for-word. LOL

Mike Portnoy reads these forums?
 
On a related note to the thread, I don't understand the secrecy! Why can't they just get it out?!?!?!
 
Also, I'm getting fed up with checking the website 2/3 times a day waiting for an update (no lie). Pinch
